Scholes: City P****d Off They Can't Beat Us

April 15, 2011

Since Manchester City came in to money, they have failed to win a trophy and failed to get one over on Manchester United. The only game they have won is the first leg of the League Cup semi-final last season but United went on to win the second leg to knock them out, then went on to win the trophy ourselves.

Paul Scholes knows City will be pissed off that their money hasn’t been able to buy them success and questions their winning mentality.

“With them getting the money, it has probably helped us and spurred us on a bit more when we have played them,” said Scholes. “There has been nothing to choose between us in the last five or six games. They will obviously be pissed off that they have only managed to beat us once and that game was a Carling Cup semi-final first leg, with us having another game to make up for it. We have nicked the games with goals in the last minutes. I’ve done it, Michael Owen’s done it and Wayne Rooney did it last season. That’s maybe the difference between the two teams. We have a belief that we can beat anybody, but if City have that, I’m not too sure. But their spending is not our problem is it?”

Good news from the press conference. As United prepare for the FA Cup semi-final, Sir Alex reveals everybody's fit after the Chelsea game. "We're missing Wayne [Rooney], obviously, which is the only downside. We've got a strong squad - our bench the other night reflected that."

The boss also provided an update on Darren Fletcher, who's not played since 6 March due to illness. "Fletch is back in training, although he's not doing a lot. He's put weight back on, which is good, but he's still a couple of weeks away."

On Owen Hargreaves: "I don't see him playing again this season. He's got this shoulder injury which has put his season to an end. He's carried bad luck all the time he's been here. His contract is up at the end of the season - we have to make a decision."

well said ginger! he doesn't talk much eh? but when he is..omg so fuckin true! :D

guys as i was browsing the web,i realized that fergie once qouted that scholesy had an attempt from 40-50 yard and whacked neville's butt as he was pissing..i can't find the video..do one of u guys have it?

@BerbaGod
Agree with you there. I think Hargreaves might give us a few good games next season if he does stay. Heck, fingers crossed, we might even give him a runout in the final game if he's up for it, and if we wrap it up by then!
Really would like for him to be given a chance - am sure he will work hard to repay the faith. Some others would have easily given up.

YorYor.
I am dreaming that we are clear enough at the top that we can put out the reserves v Blackpool on the last day. Hargo and Evans, put em all on. Morrison, Pogba, Bebe, yeah baby.

The FA can fine us the 30K they fined Stoke. Be great if the captain of the side is Wayne Rooney to pick up the trophy from Bernstein or one of his lackeys. If not wayne, then some old united battleaxe like O'Shea or Brown, any one except our true team captains.
